The point is not giving anything a "shot" just to hear yourself or see your printed response here. The point of these forums is to offer something either constructive or just sit in the bushes and listen and learn. If you have something really constructive pertaining to the matter at hand then, by all means . . . . . . speak up. Even if you are wrong but you believe you are (not "maybe") correct, speak up, and contribute by all means. If you are not correct about something after saying it, then unknot your panties and say “oops, I goofed, or hey “I was wrong”. No shame in that T. Hell I have been wrong several times on various things and I have said it. Man up or sit in the bushes and learn. You, sometimes have some really constructive sharing on here. Leave it at that. There is no shame in not knowing all about everything about Mexico when we are (in essence) newbie’s in this country. I guess when you cut to the chase we all have our own time line as to when we leave becoming a “newbie in Mexico” and when we are a senior. I have several years here, liked many, many years if you go back to the old high school and college days and add that time (months and months). Being realistic, I am a newbie as are many here. There are few, very, very few that I (personal opinion) consider really knowledgeable about living in Mexico. Many more have been here a long time, but have for one reason or another really spent a long time here (in knowledge and learning) and have contributed greatly and informatively here. We surly are not all the same and we surely all didn’t come here for the same reason. I guess what I am trying to say in my own clumsy way is to sit and listen. I contribute a lot, sometimes more than I ought to. I have learned more by reading and asking (especially by PM’ing the OP). Even the old guru’s on here are sometimes wrong. That’s OK. The difference is they all man up. They have a thirst (like many of us here, and probably you also) to learn all we can for our own reasons. This is really a great forum, in general, covering so many different subjects; better than any university courses on Mexico could ever hope to be. Ask questions, lots of questions, you’re probably asking a question that many others (unbeknown to you) also want some information about . . . . . . . but good solid information backed up by references. So continue posting and learning . . . . . . . I know that I do and I continue to learn . . . . . . Oh yeah . . . . . . . . I also continue to and probably still will make mistakes. This is a great site as I have said before, help s all continue to keep it great without bullying others. Please do not take this as a personal bash . . . . it was not given in that way. I look forward to more of your “better” postings . . . . . as I hope others look for more of mine in the same light. I have intentionally sent this as a public thread rather than a PM as I hope others (not just you and I) will also learn from both our previous mistakes. Those of us that are really interested in learning will continue to make mistakes, but we will also continue learn. Thanks for hearing me out.
